Vigor165 Firmware: Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type

Published Updated By the CyberSecBulletin desk

CVE-2024-41340 is a high-severity unrestricted upload of file with dangerous type vulnerability in Vigor165 Firmware from DrayTek, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.4 out of 10. It can be exploited with local access to the system by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version 4.2.7 as the first without the flaw, so updating Vigor165 Firmware to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.21% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.

Next patch cycle

High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.

What to do

  1. Update Vigor165 Firmware to 4.2.7 or a later version.
  2. Update Vigor166 Firmware to 4.2.7 or a later version.
  3. Update Vigor2620 Firmware to 3.9.8.9 or a later version.

The underlying weakness: Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type

The product allows the upload or transfer of dangerous file types that are automatically processed within its environment.

How developers prevent this class of flaw

  • Generate a new, unique filename for an uploaded file instead of using the user-supplied filename, so that no external input is used at all.
  • When the set of acceptable objects, such as filenames or URLs, is limited or known, create a mapping from a set of fixed input values (such as numeric IDs) to the actual filenames or URLs, and reject all other inputs.
  • Consider storing the uploaded files outside of the web document root entirely. Then, use other mechanisms to deliver the files dynamically.
